Song playbacks demonstrate slower evolution of song discrimination in birds from Amazonia than from temperate North America

Genetic data indicate differences in speciation rate across latitudes, but underlying causes have been difficult to assess because a critical phase of the speciation process is initiated in allopatry, in which, by definition, individuals from different taxa do not interact. We conducted song playbac...
